Little Moon Farm is designing gardens, growing food and flowers, and teaching gardening skills in the community of Napa.

 

Little Moon Farm was founded in December of 2017 by Farmer Rachel on a former horse pasture on the east side of Napa. As the soil health and fertility grew, Little Moon Farm grew assorted produce and flowers for up to 40 families in the peak summer months, as well as a handful of caterers, chefs, and local florists.

In 2022, Rachel learned that her time on the acre of land in East Napa was coming to an end, and shifted her work towards native and edible landscape design, culinary garden management, and community education, while continuing to grow food and flowers for her own family on her Napa city lot, and continues to craft one-of-a-kind flower arrangements for the community.

Little Moon Land Design creates unique custom native and edible perennial landscape designs, which can renew and restore our native landscapes, while creating more beautiful, usable, and productive space for our homes and communities, helping to feed our bodies and hearts.

 

Rachel graduated with a BA from Oberlin College in 2005 and has spent her adulthood studying horticulture and permaculture. She has worked on and managed produce and flower farms from 2005 through 2022. She has a Permaculture Design Certificate from Regenerative Design Institute, has studied Landscape Design at Santa Rosa Junior College. Rachel also works for (and receives ongoing mentorship from) Native Valley Landscape Design, where she continues to expand her knowledge and experience of native and drought-tolerant plants suited to Napa and Sonoma counties.

Rachel combines her agricultural and design backgrounds and her love for native ecosystems together to design, manage, and consult on edible gardens and to design modern and ecological residential landscapes.
